Road Accidents in Great Britain from 2005 to 2015

Introduction

• This project was created as part of the Developing Data Products course of the Coursera Data Science Specialisation.

• The goal of the project is to create a web page presentation using R Markdown that features a plot created with Plotly, and to host the resulting web page on either GitHub Pages, RPubs, or NeoCities.

• The interactive plot on the next slide represents the number of road accidents in Great Britain from 2005 to 2015, grouped by severity (slight, serious, or fatal).

  • A Loess smoother line has been added to highlight the overall evolution of the number of accidents.
